So I read this article and in that article it said we'll be going to mars in 2023.

Mars One will take humanity to Mars in 2023, to establish the foundation of a permanent settlement from which we will prosper, learn, and grow. Before the first crew lands, Mars One will have established a habitable, sustainable settlement designed to receive new astronauts every two years. To accomplish this, Mars One has developed a precise, realistic plan based entirely upon existing technologies. It is both economically and logistically feasible, in motion through the aggregation of existing suppliers and experts in space exploration.We invite you to participate in this journey, by sharing our vision with your friends, by supporting our effort, and perhaps, by becoming the next Mars astronaut yourself.

by 2023, we wont have the technology. By the rate of our technology getting better is at least every 3-4 years. We most likely wont have the technology to do that by 2090 or 2100

And i also think we will die, because Mars was once like Earth. When the "Comet" hit, it came in so fast it almost destroyed the Mars Atmosphere. The the devestation after all that, the ozone and Atmosphere would surely be destroyed. But then again, when the meteor hit earth 650 Million years ago or whatever, our ozone was crushed, and so was the Atmosphere, but it rebuilt it self.

So, unless God rebuilds the Atmosphere and Ozone, gives it more Gravity, like Earth, and make it more like Earth, we wont be able to live there.

If Mars is really livable like Earth, I think only people who could afford to go there would be. I highly doubt we will have life on Mars in 2023 on Mars. How would they live without houses etc. Not many people would fit in a space shuttle :p

Good point. And lots of gas & money will be wasted transferring all those people.

I think if it is livable most likely the rich will be headed to Mars. I want to name a country in Mars;Kristopia I personally would be afraid to live on a different planet. I think Earth is fine to live on.

A long time ago, way before anyone or anything was living on Earth, Mars was the size of earth, looked like Earth, basically Earth's twin. But HUGE Commet/Small Planet hit Mars. They shock wave destroyed the planet and made it into a barren waste land. Scientist thing that all the red dust is from the comet/planet that hit. They do know that the red dust is in fact radioactive. It's like the Chernobyl Accident times 8 Trillion. But back to the story, the comet/planet literately wiped every from the face of Mars. That's how it is smaller. The comet/planet came in so fast.

I also find it hard to believe how they can transfer over a million of people to Mars. Isn't Mars a barren wasteland of fire? How will we survive on that? We can't wear the space suits.

You might be confusing Mars with Hell.

How did they transfer many people over to the U.S back when they were settling there?Have you ever heard of terraforming?And we would be colonising Mars by now, if it wasn't for the governments wasting so much money on wars.As for space suits, it's more likely to be giant biospheres around the planet although, you could always get used to using a space suit from going from place to place.

People should start using protection.. And I've never heard of terraforming, what is it exactly? If we do run out of resources, we will eventually die, and a new life will spring. That's the circle of life.

Humanity has a drive to survive, it's not like they will let themselves go extinct so, it is fairly likely that it will happen.Terraforming literally means making Mars be more like the Earth. http : // en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming
